What is recorded here

Situated on a generally level area, in low-lying pasture, which is overlooked by higher, gently undulating pasture to E, S and W where views are restricted. Barrows (WM020-112----/114----) lie c. 15m to E and c. 14m to N, respectively. Not depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map or on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map. Monument described in 1970-2 as a small circular area (dims. 8.5m ESE-WNW; 7m NNE-SSW) defined by a wide, shallow fosse. The remains of a slight bank are present along the outer edge of the fosse. Outline of monument is barely visible on Digital Globe aerial photography. See attached OS 25-inch map showing location of barrow. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with a burial tradition of circular earthen mounds. Its location suggests a possible ritual or territorial significance within a broader barrow group.
